Chapter 1378 The Calamity of Underworld

Gu Qingshan stood on a branch.

When the whole world appeared before his eyes and turned into reality, he realized that he was already standing on the branch of this big tree.

—but the shortest branch.

Looking down, the dim yellow water of Wangchuan River flowed under his feet.

As long as you are not careful, you will fall into the river and turn into a dead person in an instant, forgetting everything in the past.

Gu Qingshan firmly stepped on the branches, stretched out his hand to grab the surrounding branches, and looked up.

There are not a few leaves on the bare branches, but there are many hanged people hanging upside down.

Between heaven and earth, a new understanding emerged in my heart:

No tricks.

Can't be tricky? Gu Qingshan thought secretly in his heart.

At this time, Di Jian asked: "Do you want to fly directly up?"

Gu Qingshan came back to his senses and said: "You can't fly, this tree is made up of the six laws of law, the tricky way will be discarded by the law, and it will be judged as a failure."

"My lord, what are you going to do?" Shan Nu's voice sounded.

"Climb up." Gu Qingshan said briefly.

He climbed up the branches and climbed up to the higher place step by step.

Soon, he was far away from the Wangchuan River.

"Unexpectedly, the catastrophe of the Galaxy, which was chosen by the saint as the underworld, turned out to be like this." Dijian said with a sigh.

"My lord, be careful." Shan Nu said.

Gu Qingshan remained calm and quickly climbed among the branches.

At a certain moment, he suddenly stopped and looked up.

On the branch directly in front of him was a hanged corpse.

On the left and right of the corpse, there are all dense branches, and there is no other way to go.

Gu Qing continued to look up.

I saw all kinds of corpses hanging on the roads that must be passed.

——No tricks.

Gu Qingshan silently recited the reminder of the law in his heart, and slowly crawled in front of the corpse.

The corpse moved and gradually came to life.

It seems that it was a male cultivator in his lifetime, and he was still wearing Taoist robes.

"Ah... It's been a long time since anyone has chosen Huangquan, cultivator." The corpse said.

Gu Qingshan slowly stood up from the tree trunk, and said: "I don't know about it, can you let me go, I want to go."

The corpse showed an inexplicable smile and looked at Gu Qingshan.

"Young man...you're really young. Forget it, I'll tell you that this is the path of Huangquan's holy election. You need to pay enough to buy me off, and you can't pass here until I'm satisfied."

"What if I have nothing to give you?" Gu Qingshan asked.

The corpse showed memories, and said: "At the beginning, my strength was almost as good as that of the Saint of Galaxy, but I was hanged here because I failed this calamity."

It looked at Gu Qingshan, and its voice became a little more cruel:

"I am immortal here, if you are really disobedient, then prepare to die, understand?"

"Understood."

As Gu Qingshan said, he punched lightly.

——Buzhou, the puppet of the mountain!

The corpse was already holding a jade ruler, but suddenly stopped after this punch.

Gu Qingshan held the ground sword and slashed hard on the vine hanging the corpse.

The vines were cut off.

The body rolled down the trunk and fell.

thump!

The corpse fell into the river of forgetfulness, and disappeared after a few times of ups and downs.

"What's the situation?" Dijian asked.

"I don't know." Gu Qingshan said.

"Unclear?" Di Jian said speechlessly.

"The law only told me one rule, that is, no tricks, I guess buying this corpse is a trick." Gu Qingshan said.

Di Jiandao: "So, as long as you agreed to pay the price just now, you will lose your qualification?"

"Yes." Gu Qingshan said.

"Isn't cutting off the vine a trick?" Di Jian asked.

Gu Qingshan patiently explained: "When encountering an obstacle on the road, if you cross the obstacle, it may be considered a trick, but if you remove the obstacle in order to move forward, it will definitely not be counted as a trick, because it is The stupidest way."

As soon as the words fell, an inexplicable feeling came from the tree.

Gu Qingshan closed his eyes for a moment, and said in surprise: "I succeeded in crossing the tribulation."

"What? It's so easy?" Di Jian asked puzzled.

"Yes, if you can pass the first corpse, you can barely complete it, and you can go back." Gu Qingshan said.

"Barely finished... What if you don't go back?" Di Jian asked.

"The higher you go, the stronger the power of the six realms will be obtained after crossing the catastrophe." Gu Qingshan said.

Di Jian stopped talking.

——No need to say anything, Gu Qingshan will definitely continue to climb up.

Gu Qingshan really said: "I want to continue to climb up, maybe I don't have to use force, through conversation, we may find out some past things from these dead guys."

He put away his sword and continued to climb upwards.

This tree is full of dry branches, densely packed, and full of slippery moisture, Gu Qingshan was very careful when crawling.

——In such a weird environment, who knows what else will appear.

Finally, he broke away from the bottom of the big tree and came to the second corpse.

This is a female corpse.

"Please let me go, I don't want to do unnecessary things." Gu Qingshan said.

The female corpse just hung there, staring at him, and said puzzledly: "Among the holy selections, very few people would choose the world of the underworld. Everyone would usually choose the realm of the beast king or the realm of heaven. Why did you choose the world of the underworld?"

Gu Qingshan said frankly: "I have a little bit of confidence, how about you?"

"I mainly wanted to take a path that others rarely take, but I failed in the end." The female corpse said.

"How did you fail?" Gu Qingshan asked.

The female corpse sighed and said: "I chose Huangquan as my world, but I was too greedy in the calamity of the galaxy, delusional to gain more power, and was killed by the person not far above me in the end-I just stayed in the world forever like this." here."

Gu Qingshan looked up, and saw that there was indeed another corpse hanging deep in the branch not far above the female corpse.

Gu Qingshan said: "So you are hanging here, intending to prevent me from continuing to climb?"

"No." The female corpse said.

Gu Qingshan was slightly startled.

The female corpse said: "The people on this tree hope to keep the newcomers behind, so that they will feel that their failure is nothing."

"I understand." Gu Qingshan nodded.

The female corpse continued: "No matter what they think, what I can tell you is that on this tree, everyone can attack only a few feet in front of themselves, so you just need to be careful, self-protection and return are still the same." No problem."

Gu Qingshan said: "Thank you for telling me this, you want to—"

"I have stayed here enough, I hope to reincarnate." The female corpse said.

Gu Qingshan said in relief: "I can help you with this."

He drew his longsword.

"Finally, is there anything else to say?" he asked.

The female corpse said sadly: "I practiced for thousands of years, and ended up like this. I really don't know what happened to the Six Paths. I just want to become stronger. Why do I have to suffer this?"

Gu Qingshan was silent for a moment, and said: "No one knows the reason, but this is the path that practitioners have to go. In order to become stronger, they can only risk their lives. As for what will happen in the future, there are no secrets in the Six Paths, only stronger, You are eligible to see it."

The female corpse nodded, and said wearily: "Send me away, I hope I will never be a practitioner again in my next life."

Gu Qingshan said sincerely: "It's a good journey, I hope you have good luck in your next life."

——with a wave of the long sword.

The female corpse fell into the river of forgetfulness, and soon disappeared.

Gu Qingshan sighed, passed through the position originally occupied by the female corpse, and continued to climb upwards.

For some reason, his mood became a little depressed.

Practitioners are always different from other professions.

There is no profession that is struck by lightning every day, endures various disasters, is devastated, and is in danger of dying every time when it is advanced.

Why is the Law of the Six Paths so strict?

Is it natural selection? Or are you preparing for something else?

Gu Qingshan continued to climb up while thinking.

When he arrived in front of the third corpse, another slight law fluctuation between the heaven and the earth came down and landed on him.

"What happened?" Di Jian asked.

"Hmm... Now that the tribulation is over, it will be stronger than before." Gu Qingshan read softly.

"But you will not end the tribulation."

"right."

Gu Qingshan looked at the third corpse.

It was the corpse of an old man, he had already raised his head and looked at Gu Qingshan with a playful expression.

"Tsk tsk, it's hard to wait for a newcomer, but it's such an impulsive guy, everyone is very unhappy." The old man said.

Gu Qingshan looked up.

All the corpses hanging from the trees opened their eyes and looked towards him.

"Did you know? The first two guys are the weakest. If you can't come up with something to impress me, you can die here." The old man said.

Trading is tantamount to trickery and directly disqualifies.

No trade, only fight to the death.

Gu Qingshan shook his head slightly, and opened his eyes to look at the dead bodies hanging from the branches.

He waved his hand and said loudly, "Everyone, friends here, well, friends over there, hello."

The corpses stared at him.

Gu Qingshan cleared his throat and continued: "I'm in a bad mood right now, so I don't intend to continue talking to you guys."

"For the sake of the fact that you are all dead, I came this time and brought you a present."

He drew out the Prison Suppressing Ghost King Staff.

A red awn glowed on the pitch-black staff.
